Despite the negative results of rovalpituzumab tesirine (Rova-T), other ADCs targeting different antigens, such as B7-H3, seizure-related homolog 6 (SEZ6), and CEACAM5, have also been investigated in clinical trials, including for SCLC, and their results suggest preliminary activity, either alone or in combination with other therapies. More recently, sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-TROP2 ADC, demonstrated promising activity in lung cancer, including SCLC. Furthermore, an anti-B7-H3 (CD276), ifinatamab deruxtecan (DS7300A), showed a high response rate and durable responses in heavily pretreated SCLC...Further studies are needed to determine their efficacy and safety and the best location in the treatment algorithm for SCLC. In this review, we aim to collect and describe the results regarding the past, the present, and the future of ADCs in SCLC.

Decitabine, a pan-DNMT inhibitor, attenuated tumor growth in NEPC patient-derived xenograft models, as well as retinoblastoma gene (RB1)-deficient castration-resistant prostate adenocarcinoma (CRPC) models compared with RB1-proficient CRPC. DNMT inhibition may therefore be a promising therapeutic target for NEPC and RB1-deficient CRPC and may sensitize B7-H3-low prostate cancer to DS-7300a through increasing target expression. NEPC and RB1-deficient CRPC represent prostate cancer subgroups with poor prognosis, and the development of biomarker-driven therapeutic strategies for these populations may ultimately help improve patient outcomes.

Multiple anti-B7-H3 therapies has been raised, such as DS-7300, MGA271, MGD009, and B7-H3 chimeric antigen receptor T-cell immunotherapy (CAR-T)...In the durvalumab-dependent cohort, paclitaxel-dependent cohort, anthracycline-dependent cohort, and our recruited NAT cohort, the B7-H3highPDL1low subgroup exhibited the lowest therapeutic response. Overall, this research provides a novel subtyping strategy based on the combination of B7-H3/PD-L1 expression that could potentially be applied to predict the therapeutic responses in TNBC, and suggests a potential biomarker-guided anti-B7-H3 therapy. Based on the classifier, we can select potential beneficiaries to deliver personalized medical services.

The addition of an anti-PD-L1, atezolizumab or durvalumab, to platinum/etoposide regimen became the standard of care for first-line therapy of extensive-stage (ES)-SCLC with the 12 months median survival exceeded for the first time. The most promising preliminary clinical results have been reported by DS7300a and HS-20093, both are antibody-drug conjugates, that are under investigation in ongoing trials for the treatment of pretreated SCLC. This review will provide an overview of B7-H3 and corresponding inhibitors and the clinical development in the management of SCLC.

B7-H3 expression was moderate to high in most patients; no correlation was observed between response and B7-H3 level, and an update will be presented at the congress. Table: 690P Efficacy Conclusions I-DXd continues to demonstrate a manageable safety profile and promising antitumor activity with encouraging DOR and OS in these heavily pretreated patients, which warrants further clinical evaluation across multiple indications.

Other parameters being measured include safety, pharmacokinetics, exposure-response, immunogenicity, and biomarkers. The estimated study completion date is November 2024.

I-DXd demonstrated robust and durable efficacy in this subset of patients with heavily pretreated SCLC. Likewise, it was tolerable with manageable toxicity. A phase 2 study (NCT05280470) of patients with second- or third-line extensive stage SCLC only is currently ongoing.

In addition to its role in immune modulation, B7-H3 also promotes pro-tumorigenic functions such as tumor migration, invasion, metastases, resistance, and metabolism. In this review, we will provide an overview of this newly characterized immune checkpoint molecule and its development in the management of metastatic NSCLC.

The frequent overexpression of B7-H3 in CRPC compared with normal tissue and other B7 family members implicates it as a highly relevant therapeutic target in these diseases. Mechanisms driving differences in B7-H3 expression across genomic subsets warrant investigation for understanding the role of B7-H3 in cancer growth and for the clinical development of B7-H3 targeted therapies.

Conclusions DS-7300 continues to demonstrate evidence of durable antitumor activity in heavily pretreated pts with SCLC, sqNSCLC, and mCRPC. These data support further clinical development of DS-7300, including a Ph 2 dose-optimization study in SCLC (NCT05280470) with starting dose levels of 8 mg/kg and 12.0 mg/kg.

DS-7300a exerted potent antitumor activities against B7-H3-expressing tumors in in vitro and in vivo models including PDX mouse models and showed acceptable pharmacokinetic and safety profiles in nonclinical species. Therefore, DS-7300a may be effective in treating patients with B7-H3-expressing solid tumors in a clinical setting.

DS-7300 was well tolerated with an acceptable safety profile in pts with mCRPC. The preliminary safety and efficacy data are encouraging and warrant further investigation.

DS-7300 was generally well tolerated with early signs of clinical activity, including objective responses, in pts with pretreated advanced solid tumors. Expansion cohorts are currently enrolling to evaluate DS-7300 in selected tumor types.
